This quilt has been in progress for a year! knew I would make a quilt after the engagement, but I waited until colors were chosen. Then a long wait for batting to be delivered (economy shipping might be free, but wow is it slow), the sandwiching process (it is the biggest quilt I've made so I needed my husband to help me), and bobbin tension issues (first time ever!) it is still not quilted. On top of that, I am having some eye issues, so not a lot of sewing is getting done!
Last month we had lunch with our grandson Brandon and his new bride Raegan after meeting them at the duplex they are leasing. The house is so cute - it was built in the 1960s and is in the Lake Highlands area of Dallas, an older neighborhood with tree-lined streets. I showed Raegan a photo of the quilt and she is thrilled. I hope to gift it to her by the first of August.
In other news, Melva from Melva Loves Scraps is hosting a blog hop on Thursday and Friday this week! As you can see from the cute logo, it is called Christmas in July. My day is Thursday along with other quilters, and the hop will continue on Friday with another group. There will be some prizes involved so be sure to check back on Thursday!
The wedding quilt is so pretty, Linda. I hope your eyes feel better soon. I imagine there isn't much stitching happening either...yeesh! I look forward to your stop on the hop. I didn't do anything Christmas in July themed this year.

ReplyDeleteI just realized that I'm not getting notifications when you have a new post, Linda! I think I fixed that now - had to add you back in to my Feedly feed under your new address. So - catching up today! The wedding quilt is lovely! I love the color combination you chose, and so glad to know Raegan loves it, too. Good luck with the quilting!
